investigation violation in Louisiana

2007Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 215.1(D) states, in pertinent part, that in conducting a traffic stop "an officer may not detain a motorist for a period of time longer than reasonably necessary to complete the investigation of the violation and issuance of a citation for the violation, absent reasonable suspicion of additional criminal activity."

Sharpe, 470 U.S. 675, 685 , 105 S.Ct. 1568, 1575 , 84 L.E

2024In affirming the trial court’s ultimate dismissal of the insureds’ suit, this court concluded its opinion by saying, “If a trial court may not dismiss a case with prejudice under circumstances involving as much prolonged wilfulness and bad faith as exist in this case, then discovery rules and insurance policy provisions are meaningless.” Id., 607 So.2d at 688-89 . 27 In the matter sub judice, Bankers’ Motion for Summary Judgment alleged that EMIII’s failure to cooperate with the investigation of the claim, including its failure to provide the requested information, its failure to provide reque
